Question

First, restating the scenario helps frame what is being asked: Ting Yeo wants to know the intended choices of voters in the Fifth District, and we are to identify what term describes all registered voters in her district.
Option 1: 'The study’s experiment' — This refers to the actual procedure or treatment applied in a study, not to the group being observed or surveyed. It is not the correct label for the group of voters.
Option 2: 'The study’s dependent variable' — The dependent variable is the outcome or measure that researchers observe, such as votes tallied or attitudes, not the set of people being studied. This is not the population.
Option 3: 'The study’s population' — The population in research design denotes the entire group about which we want to draw conclusions, which in this case is all registered voters in the district. This matches the concept of the study’s population.
Option 4: 'The study’s independent variable' — The independent variable is the factor deliberately varied or categorized by the researcher (e.g., treatment vs. control) to examine effects, not the group of people under study. This is not the population.
Option 5: 'The study’s sample' — A sample is a subset of the population selected for actual data collection. Since Ting Yeo wants the intended choices of all registered voters in the district, the population, not a sample, is being described here.
In summary, the population is the entire group of interest defined by the researcher, whereas the other terms refer to either the variables, procedures, or a subset used for analysis. The distinction hinges on whether we are describing the whole group of interest (population) or a subset or aspect of the study design.
